What reading level is A Cosmic View of Religion book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
And the natural in- clination with the undeveloped mind is to per- sonate the power which it does not understand. An image is the translation of the invisible into the self-understanding. Idolatry is the beginning articulation of the mind of man with the universe. The worshiper, at first a low, unreflecting suf- ferer, looks out to the end of his vision; but in any direction he sees enough to dwarf him. The days and the years glide by in monotonous reg- ularity the sun rises and sets, and the s...tars keep their places at night; storm and tempest beat 252 THE DEATHLESS IMPULSE.
about him and drive him to shelter; hunger gnaws at his vitals and he finally goes from the end of his vision to the end of his life. Then his gen- erations follow, and a thousand years go by; and at last the universe appears.
The human mind, Lifted to a conception of the universe, is differentiated instantly. It is the crisis time of the soul. Consciousness breaks in to make a creature of the simple reflexes a thinker.
